Viola supporters have given their verdict already, as 5,000 came out to see Delio Rossiâs first training ground test match against local side Rondinella, which ended 10-0 thanks to five goals from Alberto Gilardino.

âI really wanted to be here for our new tacticianâs first game,â said Dell Valle.

âIt has been an intense week with many sad moments. This is football, so we honour Mihajlovic, who behaved like a great man.

âHe paid the price for some things that werenât his fault, but the situation had become unsustainable.

âFiorentina are turning over a new leaf with Rossi, a Coach with experience and quality who we respect. I think he is the right man.

âItâs still November, so there is time, but I believe we can qualify for Europe. The team is working hard and there are tough tests ahead, but I am convinced we can do it.â
